AIKEN COUNTY, S.C. () – An arrest has been made after a shooting at the Palisades at Langley Pond apartment complex in Aiken County.

According to the Aiken County Sheriff’s Office, deputies have charged 38-year-old Daruis Porter with Aggravated Breach of Peace. He is currently being held at the Aiken County Detention Center.

Authorities said the shooting stemmed from a domestic violence situation early Wednesday morning.
